The hate train was always unfair and it never made sense to me. Their only mistake was actually trying to perform instead of playing a loud backtrack and lipsync. The hate train showed the nasty side of kpop where fandoms ganged up on a group to create a false narrative that deeply impacted the group. Most groups aren't putting the level of performance of LSF and they didn't even sing poorly week 1. They also improved performance for week 2 but nobody bother to check because it didn't help their narratives.
It's nice to see them in a better place because based on Yunjin's messages they were in a dark place. It shows you how strong an idol can be because many would've quit with the hate they were receiving. Plus, people calling a person zionist for drinking starbucks off camera when groups are promoting brands that are on the banned list.
As a fan, I think they need a better apology because calling them a national embarrassment, putting it on national tv, and threatning them on sns was going too far. There's acts that performed worse than them last year but nobody said anything hurtful like that. I know it's a part of kpop but I think fans needs to do better and not send hate to idols when they're not doing anything harmful.
Happy for them and their fans because they need a positive 2025 after what they went through in 2024
